Romans 14:19 Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
This is a good verse to keep in my back pocket when I'm tempted to share an opinion. Sometimes our beliefs fly in the face of others and we say them to get a particular reaction. Frankly, that is in direct opposition to Paul's advice here. Even if you believe you are right with your entire heart and soul, not all people are ready for your thoughts or are able to understand them at that moment in their own journey. We must be so careful to build each other up and help each other grow without force. We are here to support and love one another and leave the transforming of hearts to God. We are simply called to love one another. Simply love.
